Exponential growth or decline of connected stock
This information is part of the Business Simulation Library (BSL). Please support this work and ► donate.
ExponentialChange will fill (or drain) the connected stock from a source (or into a sink) with infinite capacity at a rate that is determined at any time as the product of the current amount in the connected stock and the fractional rate given by the real input u. By convention, a positive rate will fill the stock, while a negative rate will drain it.
Notes
- By default it is assumed, that the rate given is a continously compounding rate (
isCCR = true
). If this is not case, the rate will be converted using the →ForceOfInterest converter.
- Care has to be taken in case an →InformationLevel with a negative level is connected to the ExponentialChange, as the sign of the effective rate is affected by this.
- Exponential change processes have a constant doubling time (or a constant half-life) which can be found by dividing log(2) ≈ 0.69 by the continuously compounding fractional rate (or by log(1+rate) if the rate is not a continuously compounding rate).
